Description 

Tabs  for  „DVR  Overview“and  interface  for  the  selected  configuration  set.  All  DVRs  that  have 
already  been  configured  with  the  USB-configuration  flash  drive  are  listed  in  the  overview 
(Download  or  Upload  of  a  configuration  set  to  or  from  the  DVR).  After  selection  of  a  DVR 
configuration and the action to be taken (duplicate, edit, release or delete), a view of the selected 
configuration set opens automatically 

Button  for  creation  of  a  fleet  configuration

 

Following  the  selection  of  a  configuration  set  (as 

starting basis), a special set named globalConfig is created. 

Button  for  duplicating,  editing,  releasing  and  deleting  single  configuration  sets  and/or  an  entire 
entry. 

Label  and  serial  number  of  a  DVR  with  an  existing  configuration  set.    In  the  view  above  are 
default  configurations  of  different  DVRs  that  can  be  used  as  a  basis  for  the  creation  of  new 
configurations.  If  there  aren’t  any  device  names  assigned  in  the  configuration  of  the  DVR,  the 
serial number is shown as label. 

Configuration set ORIGINAL – this stems from the DVR and was saved to the configuration flash 
drive  with  download.  The  green  icon  signals  the  presence  of  the  set,  the  red  icon  shows  that 
there hasn’t been any set of this type generated for this for entry   

Configuration  set  EDITING  –  this  must  be  explicitly  generated  from  an  existing  set.  This  is  the 
version  to  be  edited  and  can  be  edited  at  will.  After  edit  is  completed,  the  set  RELEASE  is 
generated from this set, which is loaded

 

to the DVR.   

Configuration  set  RELEASE  –  this  has  to  be  explicitly  created  and  is  the  configuration  that  is 
saved to the DVR after editing (Upload). 

Date and time of modification for every configuration set (Original, Editing and Release) is saved 
in these three columns. 

These two columns are used for orientation. You can identify which DVR the configuration stems 
from and on what device it was later transferred to.
